Suggest Treatment For Hard Lump On The Back Of My Head

Hello, I have a question, I have a large, hard lump on the back top of my head on the left side. It's not painful, and it doesn't move, I can move the skin around over it. It feels as hard as the rest of my skull and I first noticed it three years ago. I don't have any other symptoms. What could it be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Good explanation of the your findings.
Hard lump- skin moves- 3 years.
IT is possibly coming from the bone as osteoma/ or a lipoma, appears hard here as it is in the confined space /
The best way to get a correct diagnosis is HRCT scan of the area and FNAC.
The decision to whom should be contacted depends upon the CT scan findings.
IF feasible , get this operated.
It is better to get this removed (excised) for 2 reasons.
1> your get rid of the disease and
2> you get the histopathological diagnosis- makes you tension-free
